Wie verschlüssele ich ein Passwort in Java?

Jede Softwareanwendung erfordert einen Benutzernamen und ein Passwort, um den gültigen Benutzer zu authentifizieren. Ein Benutzername kann eine E-Mail-ID oder nur eine Kombination von Zeichen sein. Beim Erstellen eines Passworts muss man jedoch sehr vorsichtig sein. Denn jeder mit gültigen Zugangsdaten kann sich in das System einloggen und auf die Informationen zugreifen.

Notwendigkeit der Verschlüsselung eines Passworts

Wenn ein Benutzer sein Passwort festlegt, wird es als Klartext in der Datenbank gespeichert. Das Speichern des Klartextes in der vorliegenden Form in der Datenbank ist überhaupt nicht sicher. Hacker können das System beschädigen und die Passwörter aus der Datenbank stehlen.

Um die Sicherheit des Benutzerpassworts zu gewährleisten, wird es mit verschiedenen Verschlüsselungstechniken verschlüsselt. Mithilfe verschiedener Verschlüsselungstechniken wird das Klartext-Passwort verschlüsselt in der Datenbank gespeichert. Es gibt viele Methoden, mit denen das Passwort verschlüsselt werden kann. Aber das Hashing ist eine der beliebtesten Verschlüsselungstechniken.

Java Secure Hashing-Techniken

Der verschlüsselte Hash-Wert wird mithilfe bestimmter Algorithmen anhand des vom Benutzer bereitgestellten Klartext-Passworts generiert. Die Java-Programmierung unterstützt mehrere Hashing-Techniken, um ein Passwort zu verschlüsseln.

MD5-Hashing-Technik

Der MD5 (Message Digest) ist ein sehr beliebter Hashing-Algorithmus. Es handelt sich um eine kryptografische Hash-Funktion, die einen 128-Bit-Hash-Wert generiert. Dieser Algorithmus ist im Paket java.security in der Java-Programmierung definiert.

Converting it into hexadecimal format. */ StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder(); for(int i=0; i <bytes.length ;i++) { s.append(integer.tostring((bytes[i] & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1)); } * complete hashed password in hexadecimal format encryptedpassword="s.toString();" catch (nosuchalgorithmexception e) e.printstacktrace(); display the unencrypted and encrypted passwords. system.out.println('plain-text password: ' password); system.out.println('encrypted using md5: encryptedpassword); < pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> Plain-text password: myPassword Encrypted password using MD5: deb1536f480475f7d593219aa1afd74c </pre> <p>The above code shows the implementation of <strong> <em>MessageDigest</em> </strong> class in <strong> <em>java.security</em> </strong> package.

Der obige Code zeigt die Implementierung von MessageDigest Klasse in java.security Paket. Der MD5 gibt ein Byte-Array zurück, das in ein lesbares Hexadezimalformat konvertiert werden muss.

Die MD5-Hashing-Technik lässt sich einfach und schnell implementieren, ist aber auch anfällig für Brute-Force-Angriffe oder Wörterbuchangriffe.

SHA256

SHA ist der Secure Hash-Algorithmus. Es verwendet eine kryptografische Funktion, die das 32-Bit-Klartext-Passwort aufnimmt und in einen 256-Bit-Hashwert fester Größe umwandelt. Diese Hashing-Technik wird mithilfe der MessageDiagest-Klasse des java.security-Pakets implementiert.

Es handelt sich um eine Einweg-Verschlüsselungstechnik. Sobald die Passphrase verschlüsselt ist, kann sie nicht mehr entschlüsselt werden.

Der obige Code verwendet die Instanz von MessageDigest Klasse, für die ein Hash generiert werden soll SHA512 . Der SHA512 gibt ein Byte-Array zurück, das in ein lesbares Hexadezimalformat konvertiert werden muss. Und schließlich wird der verschlüsselte Hashwert angezeigt.

Passwortbasierte Verschlüsselung mit Salt und Base64:

Die passwortbasierte Verschlüsselungstechnik verwendet Klartext-Passwörter und Salt-Werte, um einen Hash-Wert zu generieren. Und der Hashwert wird dann als Base64-String kodiert. Der Salt-Wert enthält Zufallsdaten, die mithilfe einer Instanz der Random-Klasse aus dem Paket java.util generiert wurden.

Das folgende Programm demonstriert die Passwortverschlüsselung mit Salt und Base64.

Im obigen Code sind zwei Klassen definiert.

  1. Die Klasse PassEncTech4 enthält den Treibercode für das Programm. Es generiert einen Salt-Wert und ein verschlüsseltes Passwort unter Verwendung des angegebenen Klartext-Passworts. Und überprüft sie anhand des von zurückgegebenen Werts verifyUserPassword()
  2. In der Klasse PassBasedEnc, Es sind 4 Methoden definiert. Die erste Methode ist getSaltvalue() was den Wert generiert mit zufällig Klasse von util Paket. Dann hash() ist definiert, die den Rückgabetyp Byte-Array hat. Der generierenSecurePassword() verwendet ein Klartext-Passwort und einen Salt-Wert mit dem hash() Methode. Und schließlich werden die beiden Passwörter mithilfe des abgeglichen verifyUserPassword() Methode.

Techniken zum Knacken des Hash

Ein Hashwert ist anfällig für verschiedene Arten von Angriffen durch Angreifer. Einige davon sind unten aufgeführt:

    Brute-Force-Angriff:Beim Brute-Force-Angriff übermittelt der Angreifer mehrere Kombinationen von Passphrasen oder Passwörtern in der Hoffnung, dass eine der Kombinationen übereinstimmt und er in das System eindringen kann.
    Um diese Art von Angriff zu vermeiden, sollte die Passphrase eine Kombination aus Buchstaben, Zahlen und Symbolen verwenden. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, eine feste Anzahl ungültiger Versuche festzulegen und anschließend eine menschliche Verifizierung wie ein Captcha anzufordern.Wörterbuchangriff:Der Wörterbuchangriff ist eine erweiterte Version des Brute-Force-Angriffs. Bei dieser Technik wird versucht, die verschlüsselte Chiffre mithilfe mehrerer Möglichkeiten zu entschlüsseln, wie die Wörter in einem Wörterbuch.Regenbogentische:Bei der Technik handelt es sich um eine Regenbogentabelle, bei der es sich um eine vorberechnete Tabelle zur Umkehrung der kryptografischen Hash-Funktionen handelt. Die Regenbogentabellen werden verwendet, um Klartext-Passwörter bis zu einer bestimmten Länge und einer begrenzten Anzahl von Zeichen zu ermitteln. Daher wird eine Side-Loop-Tabelle verwendet, um die Speichernutzung zu reduzieren und die Angriffsgeschwindigkeit zu erhöhen.
